Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan will arrive for a visit in Gaza on July 5, Turkish TV reported.

A senior official in the Hamas government said that Turkish envoys recently met with Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh and Deputy Foreign Minister Razi Hamed to discuss the details of the visit. Earlier this week, Erdogan said that protests in Turkey caused his trip to Gaza, which was originally set for June, to be postponed. (Elior Levy)
